Cllr Sunners will talk to Matt to advise this is under review.

16/17. Tennis Club

Rachel Whatley reporting – the time regulator valve in the gents toilet isn’t working. The Committee confirmed it is ok for them to get this repaired as it is covered in the terms of their agreement.
Some of the fencing still needs repairs where a tree branch fell down when the probation team were trimming the trees. Cllr Walton is still working to get this resolved.
Ask permission to cone off a small area of carpark when the softball team is playing on the Rec ground so that tennis members can also park. This was agreed. Advised they can also park on the grass by the hedge providing the ground is firm enough to do so.

Cllr Brady and Cllr Bowles both raised their disappointment that the tennis club was not open to the public on the fun day. Rachel advised that this was debated at length and it was decided that because 4 committee members are away and special footwear would need to be checked etc that they didn’t have the resource to open the courts.

Rachel advised that club membership is up a small amount on last year’s figures. This is slow but the same for other similar sized clubs.
The youth coach wants to go to Chiseldon Primary School and run some sessions with the children but has had no replies to his enquiries.

It was confirmed that the Clerk is to get 2 more sets of keys cut for the tennis club room.
